I want all my #LearningAndDevelopment #Training #FutureOfWork #Innovation folks to stop and read this short little post below. It's powerful. He's saying that any dev can use a combination of AI tools and work on both front and back end projects. Do you really think that your org values what your L&D produces highly enough to not look at this and think every SME in the org is now a course developer? Take a look at Jane Bozarth's post from a few days ago at how many people in L&D already identify as SMEs who build courses. This feels like its turning into a longer post but there is some more writing, right there on the wall.
my prediction is that everyone will be a full stack engineer in 2025 Front End - v0/Replit Agent/Lovable/Bolt Back End- Cognition/Cursor Agent/Claude/AgentStack/ChatGPT Pro/GitHub Spark/Windsurf

1wTo your point, Mark - Bob Pike used to estimate ~ 250,000 people who identified as formal L&D in occupation and an additional ~ 250,000 SMEs as “accidental trainers” — that was before genAI and the low code / no code revolution. Now? It’s not just everyone building apps; it will be apps building apps. And “apps building apps” will be included in common business productivity tools - business productivity suites that feature full stack capabilities - as well as multi-agent orchestration layers. Which means additional layers of abstraction where the average user won’t even be aware that they’re building an app or agents — they’ll just know when they (we) ask the machine in natural language to train, coach, mentor us on something, that the machine just does it — and does it well. 2025 is going to be pretty trippy.
